Question 1

I have been noticing swelling in my left foot that increases during the day and stays until I go to bed. There is also mild swelling in my right foot. My height is 5 ft 5.5 inches, weight 67 kg, and I am not diabetic (HbA1c is 5). However, my uric acid level is high at 9.4. I consulted a doctor who prescribed Febustat 40, Uprise D3 60K, Supracal HD, and Neurobion Forte. I have been on these medicines for the past two days but have not seen any relief yet. I was also advised to consult a cardiologist. My BP is normal, and I do not have any discomfort otherwise. I walk briskly for an hour every morning, though I am mostly sedentary during the rest of the day. I have been following a Keto diet for almost a year, during which my diabetes reversed and I lost 21 kg rapidly, all within a few weeks. I am now maintaining my weight with the same diet. I would like to get advice from a Keto friendly doctor regarding my swelling issue.

Question 2

What are the main functions of the renal system?

Question 3

I got my blood report and for the past two cycles my uric acid level is high. What should I do? My SGPT is 55 which is high too. I am not an alcoholic. I drink once in two weeks or less. I do not have a family history of this.

According to my lab report, my uric acid level is 7.3. I would like to know how to lower my uric acid level and manage it effectively.

This is mildly raised and can be managed through a low purine diet (avoid red meat, organ meat, alcohol), hydration, and regular exercise. Medication may be added if levels stay high.
